Thoughts on UCF at the moment
I just graduated in the Spring, and will come back in the fall to pursue a Masters (political science). And, when I saw the post that said ''LIBTECH CLOSING''. I was shocked. But, looking back on it, a lot led to this. Especially with preeminence funding, Tallahassee decided to give the shit to FSU, and UF. Destroying funding routes to UCF. Spoke to a professor of mine yesterday, and he said that whole departments are closing, and professors are being laid off. LIBTECH's destruction, along with CMC Library, and Downtown Library are just the tip of the iceberg. UCF, is changing for the worse. Preeminence, is the status of ''elite'' that UCF worked towards, emphasizing graduation after four years and whatnot. Preeminence would have gotten us more funding, not massively less funding.
Something that enrages me; other than of course Cartwright destroying the arboretum for his precious football team (to suck again no matter how much money the administration reorganizes for them, thanks a whole bunch Scotty boy), and taking a million dollar raise. Is that only 1 or 2 organizations are holding a monopoly over these concerns. I think every student should be enraged about this, and should hold protests. Yet, it's only a single group or two, not focusing on the Cartwright issue but also connecting it to a whole litany of other things that it's not connected to at all.
Keep the Cartwright issue the issue. Not diverge from the issue, and trying to connect it to a whole bunch of political stuff it doesn't have to do with at all.
